About
Elevance Health, Inc. (formerly Anthem, Inc.) is an Indianapolis, Indiana-based managed care and health services company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: ELV) as an S&P 500 Health Care component — providing health insurance plans under the Blue Cross Blue Shield brand in 14 states (Indiana, Georgia, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Kentucky, Maine, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin), Medicare Advantage, Medicaid managed care, and commercial employer-sponsored health plans through Carelon (pharmacy and behavioral health services — formerly IngenioRx) to approximately 47 million medical members through approximately 100,000 employees. In fiscal year 2024, Elevance Health reported revenues of approximately $175 billion (predominantly premium revenues from employer-sponsored and government-program health plan members), with operating income under pressure from medical cost increases in the Medicaid segment (post-COVID health utilization normalization causing medical costs to exceed Medicaid actuarial pricing expectations set during the pandemic period of reduced care utilization). CEO Gail Boudreaux has executed the company's transformation from Anthem to Elevance Health (rebranded June 2022) — reflecting the broadened value proposition beyond health insurance into health services: Carelon Services (behavioral health, pharmacy benefit management, utilization management, home health services for both Elevance and external health plan clients) represents the strategy of building a health services ecosystem that retains value within the Elevance enterprise rather than paying external PBMs, behavioral health managers, and care management vendors.
Indianapolis pharma leader (NYSE: LLY) $45.1B FY2024 revenue (+32%); Mounjaro $11.4B + Zepbound $4.9B tirzepatide GLP-1, oral orforglipron Phase 3, $18B manufacturing expansion competing with Novo Nordisk.
About
Eli Lilly and Company is an Indianapolis, Indiana-based global pharmaceutical company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: LLY) as an S&P 500 Health Care component — discovering, developing, and commercializing medicines across diabetes, obesity, oncology, immunology, and neuroscience through approximately 43,000 employees worldwide. In fiscal year 2024, Eli Lilly reported revenues of $45.1 billion (+32% year-over-year) — driven by the historic commercial launch of Mounjaro (tirzepatide for type 2 diabetes, $11.4B revenue) and Zepbound (tirzepatide for obesity and obstructive sleep apnea, $4.9B revenue) — making Eli Lilly one of the fastest-growing large pharmaceutical companies in history and elevating its market capitalization above $700 billion at peak 2024 valuation, briefly making Lilly the most valuable healthcare company globally. CEO Dave Ricks' strategic investment in tirzepatide manufacturing capacity — committing $18+ billion to new US manufacturing sites in Indiana, Wisconsin, and North Carolina — reflects Lilly's execution of unprecedented pharmaceutical demand that has consistently outpaced supply since Mounjaro's 2022 approval and Zepbound's 2023 FDA approval for obesity. The GLP-1/GIP dual agonist mechanism (tirzepatide activates both GLP-1 and GIP incretin receptors, versus semaglutide's single GLP-1 activation) produces superior efficacy results — SURMOUNT-1 trial showing 22.5% average body weight loss with tirzepatide versus 15% with semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) — establishing tirzepatide as the most effective approved obesity pharmacotherapy.
